Since forming in 2009\, Leeds-based Eagulls have become syno
nymous with a discontented\, disillusioned kind of anger\, molded into bul
lets of post punk that’s rife with urgency and aggression.

\n

Brought
together by drummer Henry Ruddell and guitarist Mark ‘Goldy’ Goldsworthy\
, they were later joined by friends Liam Matthews on guitar and Tom Kelly
on bass. After struggling to find a singer that fitted with their vision f
or the band\, they roped in George Mitchell to be their frontman without e
ver having heard him sing before.

For a band like Eagulls\, tourin
g is their lifeblood\, as shown through the relentless bouts of gigging th
at have coloured their four years together\, in between working tedious da
y jobs in the bars and retail outlets of Leeds together. Booking support s
lots with the likes of Iceage\, Merchandise and Fucked Up they’ve carved o
ut a reputation for chaotic and confrontational live shows.
